2019 Spring and Summer Capital Improvements Program Update The Public Works Department is pleased to provide you with this quarterly update of the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The program covers: street, concrete, and traffic improvements (including sidewalk, curb and gutter), parks, and city facilities improvements. Projects are currently under construction or are in the planning and design phases.

Current Projects Traffic Signal Installation Project, Marine and Osage Avenue Intersection: Staff performed a traffic safety study to review vehicle and pedestrian traffic volumes at Marine and Osage avenues. Currently, Marine Avenue has two lanes of travel in each direction and is classified as an eastwest minor arterial roadway. There is a marked yellow crosswalk across Marine Avenue on the westerly side of the intersection, along with advanced Slow School Xing markings, overhead flashing beacons, and pedestrian crossing signage. Hartzog and Crabill, Inc., the City’s traffic engineering consultant, is working with staff to design a fully actuated traffic signal at the intersection of Marine and Osage avenues. The scope of work for design will include utility research and coordination, potholing, survey, traffic signal plans, signing and striping plans, traffic signal timing and construction cost estimates. The construction phase for this project is anticipated to begin in the latter part of Spring. The project is being funded with STP-L funds.

Traffic Signal Modification Project, Intersection of Manhattan Beach and Hawthorne Boulevards: The City of Lawndale awarded a contract to Hartzog & Crabill, Inc. for the design modification of the traffic signal at the intersection of Manhattan Beach Boulevard and Hawthorne Boulevard. This project will provide a protected, permissive left-turn signal that will improve the operational effectiveness and safety of the current leftturn configuration on Manhattan Beach Boulevard for both eastbound and westbound directions. The project is funded with Measure R funds.

Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Project, W. 149th, W. 160 th and W. 167th Streets: This project is an investment in our local streets and roads infrastructure with a focus on basic maintenance and safety and includes pavement improvements, street striping, street reconstruction, repairing damaged sidewalk, driveway, curb and gutter. The improvements will be on W. 149th Street from Hawthorne Boulevard to Larch Avenue, W. 160 th Street from Hawthorne Boulevard to Freeman Avenue, and on W. 167th Street from Hawthorne Boulevard to Freeman Avenue. This project is funded with Gas Tax (SB1), TDA and Measure R funds. The project is anticipated to begin in the Spring.

Concrete Repair Project: The project includes repairing damaged sidewalks, curbs and gutters, cross gutters, alley gutters, curb return ramps, driveways and alley approaches. The project boundaries are as follows: east of Hawthorne Boulevard, south of W. 166th Street, west of 405 Freeway and north of Redondo Beach Boulevard.

The project will be funded using Redevelopment Agency Bond Proceeds. The construction phase is anticipated to begin in February.

Page 8 Heart of the South Bay

Inglewood Avenue Widening Project: Phase I and II of the project is from Manhattan Beach Boulevard north to the I-405 Freeway northbound on-ramp including the Marine Avenue intersection.

The project will include construction of a right turn pocket, pavement resurfacing, crosswalk and traffic signal replacements, utility relocation, curb, gutter, traffic striping and other roadway modifications. Phase III of the project will resurface Inglewood Avenue from Rosecrans Avenue south to W. 153rd Street. Inglewood Avenue will be improved using rubberized asphalt and street striping as well as traffic signal modification at the intersection of W. 147th street and Inglewood Avenue. The project will also provide a continuous sidewalk that will be 10 feet in width spanning from Lawndale High School northern limits to Marine Avenue. Also included will be a raised landscaped median island with attractive landscaping and irrigation elements, traffic signal synchronization, street striping, and other roadway modifications. The project is in the final design phase and is expected to be completed this coming February. Staff is in the process of seeking an extension of the funding window for phase III of the project at which time the project timeline will be amended to meet the established project schedule. Phases I and II of this project will be completed using the following grant funds: Los Angeles County Measure R, California State Proposition C and other federal grant funds.

Short-Term Rentals Not Permitted in Lawndale With the ever increasing amount of short-term rental properties becoming more common, local municipalities have been faced with new challenges stemming from the rise of people seeking short-term rentals for extended periods of time. Some common problems associated with short-term rentals may include, reduction of available street parking, decreased usage of hotel and motels, and the removal of permanent housing from long term renters, potentially driving up rental prices on traditional rental units.

Additionally, communities which allow short-term rentals often see increased calls for service from residents for complaints stemming from noise, foot traffic and trash. This upswing in nuisance calls further drains public safety resources by taking away Sheriff’s department personnel from more pertinent day to day tasks.

In response to these issues, the City of Lawndale passed an ordinance in 2017 prohibiting short-term rentals within the community. Lawndale Municipal Code 17.48.065 prohibits short-term rentals from being made available by property owners in all city residential zones. Code Enforcement Officers who become aware of property owners violating this ordinance will open code enforcement cases and require property owners to demonstrate that properties have not been altered to accommodate short-term housing.

Code Enforcement Officers will also confirm that the lease terms of any properties being rented will be for longer than the 30 day minimum terms allowable by this ordinance. Code Officers will also require property owners to obtain a business license from the city to operate their property as a rental.

If you suspect any residences or businesses are using their properties as short-term rentals, please contact the Municipal Services Department and report the situation so the code enforcement team can investigate.

Las viviendas de renta a corto plazo, no están permitidas en Lawndale Con el continuo incremento de propiedades de alquiler a corto plazo, las municipalidades locales se han enfrentado a nuevos retos los cuales surgen de gente que busca propiedades de alquiler a corto plazo, por largos períodos de tiempo. Algunos problemas comunes asociados con las propiedades de alquiler a corto plazo pueden incluir reducción de estacionamiento disponible en la calle, disminución del uso de hoteles y moteles (por lo tanto, afectando los ingresos fiscales de la ciudad), y la eliminación de propiedades de alquiler a largo plazo, lo que podría incrementar el costo del alquiler en las unidades de alquiler tradicionales.

Además, las comunidades que permiten alquileres a corto plazo, frecuentemente ven un aumento en las llamadas de servicio por parte de los residentes, por quejas que surgen por ruido, tráfico peatonal y basura. Este aumento en molestia de llamadas, hace que los recursos de seguridad pública y el personal del departamento del Sheriff, se vean aún más afectados por las tareas diarias más pertinentes.

En respuesta a estos problemas, la Ciudad de Lawndale aprobó una ordenanza en 2017, prohibiendo las propiedades de alquiler a corto plazo en la comunidad. El Código 17.48.065 de Lawndale prohíbe que los propietarios de viviendas de alquiler a corto plazo estén disponibles en todas las zonas residenciales de la ciudad. Cuando los oficiales encargados de hacer cumplir los códigos, tengan conocimiento de propietarios que estén violando esta ordenanza, abrirán casos de cumplimiento de códigos y requerirán que los propietarios de viviendas demuestren que sus propiedades no han sido modificadas para acomodar una vivienda de alquiler a corto plazo.

Los oficiales encargados de hacer cumplir los códigos también confirmarán que los términos del arrendamiento de cualquier propiedad alquilada, será mayor a los 30 días mínimos permitidos por esta ordenanza. Los oficiales encargados de hacer cumplir los códigos también requerirán que los propietarios obtengan una licencia comercial de la ciudad, para operar su propiedad como una vivienda de alquiler.

Si usted sospecha que cualquier residencia o negocio está siendo usado como una vivienda a corto plazo, favor de contactar al Departamento de Servicios Municipales y reporte la situación para que el equipo que hace cumplir este código, pueda investigar.

Reciclaje de desecho de alimentos/ orgánicos de los comercios de Lawndale

El Muro de Distinción Agrega una Residente y Voluntaria a largo plazo

El Proyecto de Ley 1826 requiere que ciertos comercios y complejos multifamiliares con 5 o más unidades, reciclen su desecho orgánico. El desecho orgánico se define como desecho de alimentos, restos de alimentos como papel, desecho de jardín y utensilios de abono. Los complejos multifamiliares no requieren que se recicle el desecho de alimentos, pero sí se requiere que se reciclen los desechos de jardín.

Después de fallecer recientemente el 17 de diciembre de 2018, el Consejo de la Ciudad de Lawndale agregó a la residente y voluntaria de muchos años, Charmaine Doty, al Muro de la Distinción. La Sra. Doty se mudó a vivir a Lawndale en 1968 y permaneció en Lawndale por los siguientes 50 años. Aparte de ser corredora de carros de competencia a finales de los 60’s y 70’s, la señora Doty fue una voluntaria dedicada de la ciudad de Lawndale por aproximadamente tres décadas. Sus esfuerzos de voluntaria con la Ciudad incluían planear y organizar el programa de alimentos gratuitos de Lawndale de lo que estaba muy orgullosa de participar. También la Sra. Doty fue un miembro a largo plazo del Comité de Embellecimiento de la Ciudad y regularmente asistía a los programas de eventos especiales de la Ciudad, representando al comité. La señora Doty también era un miembro del comité de Voluntarios del Desfile del Día de la Juventud de la Ciudad por 12 años y raramente faltó a una junta. En el 2001, la Sra. Doty fue reconocida por sus extensivos esfuerzos voluntarios y fue la 27ª receptora del Premio de la Comisión del Condado de Los Ángeles por la Americana Mayor de Envejecimiento más Sobresaliente, reconocida por la el segundo distrito de la Junta de Supervisores del Condado de Los Ángeles, por su dedicación y servicio voluntario. El Programa del Muro de Distinción honra póstumamente a individuos que se distinguen en la Ciudad de Lawndale al brindar servicio voluntario ejemplar a la Ciudad.

Republic Services tiene un programa de reciclaje orgánico disponible para los comercios y los complejos multifamiliares de Lawndale, sin costo adicional. Los comercios y complejos multifamiliares pueden inscribirse para los servicios de reciclaje de desecho de jardín y/o orgánico, contactando a Republic Services al (800) 299-4898.
